Living here

Sencelles is a farming town on the flat Pla de Mallorca, about 35 minutes by car from Palma, ringed by fields, vineyards and small hamlets. It has a primary school, a health clinic and two weekly markets. Village life goes on all year, and anything beyond the basics means a drive.

The town heads one of the largest municipalities in the Pla, and one of the flattest: none of its land rises above 160 metres. Just under 4,000 people lived in the municipality in 2025, most of them in the town and the rest in Biniali and a handful of small hamlets such as Ruberts, Jornets and Cascanar. For centuries farmers here grew vines, figs, almonds and cereals and kept livestock. Phylloxera ruined the vineyards at the end of the 19th century, but Sencelles is still one of the five municipalities in the Binissalem wine denomination.

The parish church of Sant Pere, from 1705, has its steps on the Plaça de la Vila, where the Saturday market and many festivals are held. Francinaina Cirer (1781–1855), a local nun beatified in 1989, was born here, and every 27 February her statue in the church square is covered in flowers. In the municipality, the talaiotic settlement of Son Fred, from around 1000 BC, is one of the island’s major prehistoric sites. Festivals include a bonfire and correfoc (fire run) for the patron saint, Santa Àgueda, in early February, the town fair on the third Sunday of May and the Embala’t, an August straw fight recalling the old harvest.

The town has a few small shops, a Wednesday morning market for food and other goods, and a Saturday morning market in the Plaça de la Vila that favours local, organic and handmade goods, with second-hand stalls on the first Saturday of the month. For bigger shopping, people drive to Inca or Palma. CEIP Can Bril is the state infant and primary school, there is a municipal nursery for children up to three, and secondary pupils take a school bus to IES Sineu. The public health clinic opens on weekdays from 8:00 to 15:00, and out-of-hours care is at the urgent care point (PAC) in Binissalem.

Getting about is simplest by car. The Ma-3020 runs west through Biniali to Santa Maria del Camí and the Ma-13 motorway, putting central Palma and the airport about 35 minutes away, and Inca and Sineu are each about 15 minutes' drive. There is no train station; the nearest, at Inca, Sineu, Binissalem and Santa Maria del Camí, are 15 to 20 minutes away by car. TIB bus 304 links the town with Inca and Palma about ten times each way on weekdays and five times at weekends. It takes about 45 minutes to Palma’s Estació Intermodal and stops at both the Inca and Son Llàtzer hospitals.

Who buys here

By the 1981 census the municipality had fallen to about 1,630 people, and its population has more than doubled since. Second homes and new residents, some of them from abroad, have driven the recovery, alongside families who have lived here for generations. The usual choice is a village house within walking distance of the school and the markets, or a country house on the plain, with Palma, Inca and the airport all within easy reach.

Property

The old centre, around the church of Sant Pere and the Plaça de la Vila, is made up of traditional village houses on narrow streets, within walking distance of the shops, the school and the markets. The town hall has drawn up a heritage catalogue covering buildings in the town centre, Biniali and the rural hamlets, so check whether a house is protected before planning works. Outside town, the flat farmland holds fincas, stone farmhouses and country homes among fields, vineyards and almond trees.

Questions buyers ask

How do I get to Palma?

About 35 minutes by car to either, west along the Ma-3020 through Biniali to Santa Maria del Camí and then down the Ma-13 motorway. Without a car, TIB bus 304 reaches Palma’s Estació Intermodal in about 45 minutes, about ten times a day on weekdays and five at weekends on the timetable in force since September 2025, so check the current one before relying on it.

Is there a doctor in Sencelles?

Yes. The public health clinic on Carrer Ramon Llull opens on weekdays from 8:00 to 15:00 and belongs to the Es Raiguer health centre in Binissalem, whose urgent care point (PAC) covers evenings, nights and weekends. The reference hospital is Son Llàtzer in Palma, about 25 to 30 minutes away, and the Hospital Comarcal d’Inca is about 15 minutes away.

Which schools serve the town?

CEIP Can Bril, in the town, is the state infant and primary school, and there is a municipal nursery for children up to three. Secondary pupils go to IES Sineu, about 15 minutes away, on a school bus that also stops in Biniali.

Are there building restrictions on country houses?

Country houses on the plain stand on rustic (rural) land, where building rules are strict. Have a lawyer confirm that every building and extension is legal and registered, and ask the town hall’s planning office what changes are allowed. Houses in the town centre and the hamlets may also be protected by the town hall’s heritage catalogue.

When are the markets and the main festivals?

The weekly market is on Wednesday mornings, and a Saturday morning market in the Plaça de la Vila favours local, organic and handmade goods. Santa Àgueda, the patron saint, is celebrated in early February, the town fair falls on the third Sunday of May, followed by a smaller fair, es Firó, on the Monday, and the Embala’t is held in August.
